Bellevue Landscaping

The art of arranging furniture in respect to color, astronomy, and cardinal directions to improve one’s quality of life is an ancient Chinese discipline called Feng Shui. This practice was founded in China almost six thousand years ago. The founders of Feng Shui believed that a person could achieve various goals in life, whether that be finding love, attaining wealth, or honoring one’s elders, through the arrangement of objects in a household, and also through landscape architecture. Feng Shui relies on finding and channeling an energy called Qi, which translates to air, though more refers to an internal or physical energy. Locations rich in Qi are suitable for human development, while those bereft of Qi should be left in their natural state.

Feng Shui is practiced in several locations around the world, and has been used to find settlements from ancient cultures who based the position of their cities and towns on astrological signs. You can find Feng Shui influences in everything from interior design in New York to Seattle landscape planning.
